| John Mayer – Slow Dancing in a Burning Room Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This is my favorite song of all time. It is about two people who are destined to break up, but they have grown to love one another and have become comfortable in the abusive environment they live in together. The first stanza is about how their relationship is taking it's last deep breath, and dying. How the disease will never be cured, how the storm will never be calmed. The second stanza is about how whenever he holds her in his arms, the warm embrace turns violent. Every time this happens, someone comes to help, but this has happened so many times that the people have stopped coming. The chorus is about how their relationship is never going to get better and they know it. The line "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" is about how their relationship (the room) is crashing and burning with them inside. They decide to savor their last few moments together and just hold each other in their arms. The third stanza is about how they were never meant for each other, even from the beginning, but they still love and care about each other very much. The fourth stanza describes a violent fight; her hitting him, him pushing her off and then feeling guilty for hurting her. This song is so creative and beautiful. I can't help myself from crying every time I hear this song. ~Ariana |
